jcarax,

This isn’t a phone focused product, and the thermal envelope is quite a bit larger. It’s meant for laptops, and maybe some tablets will see it. These are Oryon cores from their purchase of Nuvia, and I don’t think a whole lot will transfer over.

jcarax,

I’m much more worried about the social implications. Namely, the displacement of workers and introduction of new efficiencies to workflows, continuing to benefit only those who are rich and in power, and driving more of us towards poverty.

It’s not an immediate existential threat, but it’s absolutely a serious issue that we aren’t paying enough attention to.

jcarax,

Oh well, I guess I’ll return the Pixel 8 I just ordered.

Nah, I’ll just install Calyx, and invite Sundar to suck my dick.

jcarax,

This would be great if I could actually use it in AOSP without Google’s own app, and view/reply to RCS conversations on my laptop using a 3rd party application. Open the APIs, Google, or you’re just blowing hot air.

jcarax,

It’s aggressive marketing. Or unfair marketing.

I believe the technical term is “horseshit”

jcarax,

To be fair, they aren’t journalists. They’re a privacy-centric mail provider that is warning their customers.

jcarax,

Configuring local software vs delegating to a web service

jcarax,

Slackware. In its early days, fine, it’s been around forever. But a modern distribution without dependency handling is just nuts to me.

jcarax,

My big takeaway from this thread is that, wow, people actually use that feature. I use OneNote at work, and I absolutely loathe that if I click a bit too low, I end up outside my note.

jcarax,

Only if they’re gay, have mental health issues, or are Jewish.

jcarax,

Unfortunately, it’s not many of us. A lot of folks don’t even not buy games that aren’t good, if they’re heavily marketed.

jcarax,

Yes, everyone who doesn’t align with your political view is facist. That in itself doesn’t sound facist at all, does it?

We need to not just be careful about what some horrible people are doing right now, but also about what we become as we react to it.

jcarax,

Holy shit, Wisconsin did something right!

jcarax,

They’re rounding it in the wrong plane. They should make it thicker, with a rounded back that flattens enough to sit without rocking. The Palm Pre, and the Nexus S and original Moto X were spiritual successors in my mind, was designed after how a river stone is pleasant in your hand.

Obviously the phone would have to be smaller, for that to work. But it would also allow a larger battery and flush camera.

jcarax,

Wait, those aren’t supposed to be used to fix flat tires?

I live in Wisconsin, and it blows my mind how many people claim to take pride in our dairy heritage, and then turn around and eat fake cheese.

jcarax,

I suspect it’s going to take a lot more egg shells than that to have too many, but maybe someone else knows for a fact. Just make sure you throw them in a hot oven before you compost them. You want to hold them to at least 160F to kill salmonella. Some places recommend 250F for an hour. I generally have them around 350F for 30-40 minutes.

This accomplishes a few things:

  1. It kills the salmonella
  2. It makes them easier to break into small pieces
  3. It allows them to break down and extract the minerals far more easily in the compost

With how many you’re going to be composting, you may want to find a method to really grind them finely, towards a powder. I’d imagine that will allow you to compost more, without reaching some possible negative points like too much aeration to the soil. Though you might lose some benefits, like the pest deterrence, or maybe not since some people just sprinkle egg shell powder on top of the soil and leaves. If you’re going to limit how many you compost, you might reserve some powdered egg shells for this purpose.

If you’re worried about attracting animals to your compost, rinse the shells before baking.

jcarax,

I used to recommend Anolon, but unfortunately they discontinued their enameled cast iron. I much prefer the slightly rough, black enamel style of Staub. I find it sears much better, at the cost of being a bit tricky to keep clean.

You can often find sales on individual Le Creuset and Staub pans on Amazon, bringing them down to around $100. I do have my eye on a Le Creuset skillet that has a black enamel.

All-Clad often has individual D3 pans on sale on their site, and they regularly have factory seconds and packaging damage on sale at homeandcooksales.com. You can subscribe and get notified when they have an event, they don’t go overboard with emails.

Don’t feel like you need to buy everything at once, or even stick to one brand. You might get a 9" skillet here from All-Clad, see a Fissler Original-Profi sauce pot on sale there. Then decide you want to splurge on a saucier, because a saucier is worth splurging on, from Falk when they have a 15% sale. There’s something to be said for having the bulk of your collection from a single brand for the sake of lid interoperability, but there’s also something to be said for sniping the best in class for each piece when you find a deal.

Just don’t buy sets, it’s a sure way to get stuck with pans you don’t really use.

jcarax,

I feel like I’d be compelled to go fairly dark with it. When The Jetsons was made, it was largely a period of optimism and prosperity in the US. That is most certainly no longer the case, with the middle class pretty much having evaporated, and so many people struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.

I think I’d probably focus on the company store construct, that has become the foundation of capitalist society. Where everything you earn is due to the good will of those you’re obligated to give it back to. In a world with all sorts of wonderful technology, for most, it exists solely to make your toils for the sake of others more efficient.

I don’t see how the optimism of The Jetsons can exist today, at least not without mocking the hell out of it.

jcarax,

Probably in a gas chamber, the way things are headed.

jcarax,

Unfortunately, I’d still have to drive 2+ hours to fill up anyplace besides home. I’d love to have a little EV for summer, but it’s just not feasible here in Northern Wisconsin, yet.

Arizona girl Alicia Navarro, missing since 2019, walks into tiny Montana police station and asks cops to take her off missing children list (nypost.com)

Alicia Navarro, now 18, walked into a police department in a tiny Montana town 40 miles from the Canadian border and identified herself as the teen who was reported missing in September 2019, Glendale police said Wednesday....

jcarax,

There are so many traveling kids out there. The types who sell wrapped stones and hemp bags at street festivals, drifting in and out of communal living situations, camps, etc.

I flirted with all that when I was younger, still think about just taking off in my car sometimes. Ok, a lot of the time. It’s pretty tempting for a lot of us to just say fuck it, and drop out of society and into a counter culture, or a nice intentional community.

jcarax,

Check the status of Asahi Linux, they’re making a lot of progress on Apple silicon, but it’s very early. I wouldn’t recommend it, at this point.

Do you actually need 64GB of RAM? The Thinkpad T16 AMD would be a good choice, but the T14s AMD has just stupidly low fan noise in Notebookcheck’s review. You definitely want to focus on AMD, Intel’s efficiency is… not great right now. As an added benefit, you get AMD graphics from the APU, so none of the Nvidia driver fuckery, and better performance than Intel.

Personally, I’m waiting for the T14s Gen 4 AMD. The 7840u is zen 4, GCN 3, and TSMC 4nm over the 6850u’s zen 3, GCN2, and TSMC 6nm. The T14 and T16 just hit Lenovo’s model database ‘psref’ earlier this week, so I’d expect them out in the next couple months. The T14s hasn’t been seen yet, I’d guess it hits psref in the next couple weeks. But, I’m prepared to wait into Q4, if need be, and some think I will be.

Pence says abortion should be banned for nonviable pregnancies (thehill.com)

Former Vice President Mike Pence has taken a hard stance on abortion, saying that abortions should be banned even in cases of nonviable pregnancies. Pence is the only GOP presidential candidate to publicly support a national abortion ban at six weeks. Medical experts have criticized Pence’s pledge, noting that forcing women to...

jcarax,

I’d say at least he only has 7% of the GOP vote, but the alternatives are so much worse. He’s pretty much their Biden, at this point. Hell, we don’t even know if he believes this garbage. The fact that so many people are beating the drums about things they don’t even believe, for the sake of winning over demographics, is truly terrifying.

Ohio remote work amendment removed from state budget (www.wdtn.com)

During the week of June 12, the Ohio state budget was approved by the Ohio Senate. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the state budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal years on July 4. The controversial amendment regarding the limitation of working remotely was removed during the budget’s conference committee....

jcarax,

removing the ability for an aide to read and summarize legislation for an incumbent.

Make the fuckers pass a comprehension quiz before they vote on anything.
